Developing a theoretical model for the emerging faith-based organization: A case analysis Johnson, Terri Lynne Communication faith-based organizations organizational development organizational identity organizational social capital organizational tensions social capital qualitative grounded theory case study In spite of the growth of faith-based organizations (FBOs) in the non-profit sector, our understanding with regard to its organizational development process still lags behind. In particularly, given the connection between faith, identity, and social capital, the study argues that an investigation of organizational identity and social capital of FBOs would provide a deeper understanding of issues related to FBO development and management. With a focus on the communication processes of multiple stakeholders, the study is an in-depth qualitative case analysis of an emerging FBO in a Midwestern Metropolitan area in the U.S. A second phase of the study applied findings to other FBOs in the same geographical area. The purpose of this study was to develop a theoretical model for the faith-based organization. The data obtained from the in-depth field interviews, organizational documents, and field notes were analyzed through a grounded theory research method. This research resulted in new findings that demonstrate connections between several bodies of literature adding to our understanding of the developmental processes of the faith-based organization. Concluding remarks suggest parallels between the faith-based nonprofit and society at large, proposing that similar practices for managing differing values and principles in our society could bring greater understanding between diverse people groups. 2015-12-14 English text Cleveland State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=csu1449779275 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=csu1449779275 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
